Christoph Berg | Henning Schmiedt ~ Bei
Bei is improvised music that sounds composed; complex music that sounds simple; serious music that sounds fun. The duo of Christoph Berg (violin) and Henning Schmiedt (piano) confounds at every turn: pleasantly, peacefully, precociously. Schmiedt has been recording for 20 years, and has preserved

Levi Patel ~ Affinity
Affinity is a slow grower. One wants to resist its charms, seeing the traditional post-rock mountain on the cover and hearing the familiar timbres. But as these blissful songs unfold, they begin to cast a spell. For this we can credit strong

Wataru Sato ~ midnight solitude
There’s only one proper time and way to write this review: midnight, alone. In this hour of introspection, there’s room for contemplation, for dreaming, for regret, for hope. But I’m not completely alone; the music of Wataru Sato provides the company. Some may

Oiseaux-Tempête ~ AL-‘AN ! الآن
It may seem strange for an instrumental site to be interested in lyrics, but the primarily instrumental Parisian collective Oiseaux-Tempête has always been political, and today’s political climate is more charged than ever. How would they react on their new album?

Gianluca Favaron ~ Blank Spaces (I Don’t Want To Be Happy)
Gianluca Favaron has recorded some of our favorite drone albums. This makes us look forward to every release, but it also raises the bar. Would the artist continue to impress with his latest tape? Absolutely. Our only concern is that the

The Inward Circles ~ And Right Lines Limit and Close All Bodies
Richard Skelton is a man of many guises. This April he returns as The Inward Circles, continuing to invoke history, nature and the mysteries of the human mind. This is his fourth release and third album under this name, and arrives with a bonus: an

Olivier Alary ~ Fiction/Non-Fiction
A certain sadness permeates Olivier Alary‘s works for film, many of which are collected here for the first time. But this doesn’t mean the composer is sad; he simply knows how to score the emotion. One film is about a family

Zu ~ Jhator
Zu‘s Jhator is one of the early highlights of the spring season, a toothy, moody, cavernous record inspired by Tibetan funeral practices. These side-long tracks use repetition and propulsion to inspire a trance-like state. By the end, one feels as if one has
